    El odio a este videojuego fue puro fanboyismo. Perfecto no es, hubieron promesas incumplidas tambien, pero un videojuego merecedor de un 2 o un 4 no es. Videojuego divertido, y si lo juegas en Coop, la diversion es doble, muy rejugable, en cuestion de coleccionables y y subir de nivel a tus agentes. Si jugaste el primer Crackdown, este te va a encantar.

    Meu primeiro xbox foi o Series S e essa foi minha terceira experiência com o console, e por enquanto minha favorita.

    A história e o gráfico são medianos, mas a gameplay é muito divertida.

    I really so loved this game and it was very so futuristically amazing. I recommend the game to anyone

    Crackdown 3 is a surprisingly good, albeit flawed game.

    To put the premise quite simply, you're part of an agency of super-soldier law enforcement officers sent to New Providence to shut down a corporation that's been instigating global blackout attacks on cities across the world. On entry, you and your entire crew get utterly vaporized by Elizabeth Niemand's mechanical dragon and    Crackdown 3 is a surprisingly good, albeit flawed game.

    To put the premise quite simply, you're part of an agency of super-soldier law enforcement officers sent to New Providence to shut down a corporation that's been instigating global blackout attacks on cities across the world.

    On entry, you and your entire crew get utterly vaporized by Elizabeth Niemand's mechanical dragon and you are only, just barely revived with none of your superpowers by a member of the city's resistance. Your goal is to liberate the city, eliminate TerraNova's kingpins and end the blackout attacks.

    Firstly, the problems...

    Crackdown 3 has a boatload of collectibles and it's a very tedious task to complete this game 100%. Thankfully this game does have a few quality-of-life changes above the original which makes this task somewhat less tedious, i.e. being able to track down the number of Agility Orbs remaining in a given region of the city.

    This game also has a "reverse difficulty curve" whereby early objectives will be difficult to capture and you will die a lot, until you've levelled your abilities up, after which the game becomes a cakewalk.

    Two of the bosses (including the final one) are exceptions to this rule and are so very cheaply designed that I've had to cheese my way to victory through unorthodox strategies on both fights.

    Please note that this is based on the Super Agent (second-hardest) difficulty, which I've beaten. I am currently doing a run on Legendary and the aforementioned initial difficulty spike is far, far more apparent.

    Also, if you're expecting to hear Terry Crews drop loads of quips and unforgettable one-liners in this game, dream on. Commander Jaxon, the character that Crews lended his voice and likeness to, was a major marketing and selling point of this game, yet he doesn't even survive the opening cutscene and literally gets turned to radioactive dust within the first three minutes of play. Sure, you can choose him as an agent skin, but you're not gonna hear him say anything for the whole game.

    Now... the positives.

    The game controls well, has a plethora of vehicles, although regrettably no planes or helicopters. It plays about as well as you'd expect a futuristic superhero GTA clone to play and has one of the best lock-on targeting systems I've seen in any video game. It also hasn't changed much from the very first game, which is both a good and bad thing.

    Lore-wise, the game is packed deep with it, if you're willing to take the time to unlock audio logs and transmissions. It also makes a few calls back to the very first game.    … Expand

    Es un buen juego , aunque si es verdad que no inova , eso también es culpa de la comunidad , querían que se pareciara al primer , eso intentaron

    This game is just fun. The story isn’t anything spectacular, but it’s entertaining. The characters are fun, and villains are unique, and options to play as different characters is a good addition. The online mode isn’t great, and only cause it doesn’t seem to be played by players. This is a good game, and recommend it.

    Si dejamos de lado todas las promesas que no cumplió y nos centramos en si es mejor que las entregas anteriores (por qué supera a los anteriores crackdown en mi opinión) tendría mejores críticas

    As a long time Crackdown fan, I truly enjoyed playing thru this game. Twice. Its great fun as a sandbox mayhem, and the combat all round is very smooth and well executed too, better than in the previous games, in fact.

    Exploration is fun as always in these games.
    I do have to complain about the sound quality tho. Overall, sounds are fine, but the lead characters voice acting sounds muted compared to other sounds, so its kinda hard to hear what the hero is saying in the midst of all the noise. Now matter what you do with the sound settings... So, kinda glitch on the sound levels there, one which they have not fixed to date...
    Still if you're looking for a fun sandbox game, this is it.    … Expand

    Gostei bastante da experiência, a jogabilidade e estrutura me lembrou muitos os jogos da época do PlayStation 2, e isso não é ruim pelo contrário. Jogabilidade simples, graficos limpos e coloridos me renderam boas horas de diversão. Meu ponto negativo vai apenas pela duração da campanha que achei curta.

    To put it simply, Crackdown 3 is a fun game. It’s no frills unpretentious fun. If you have an Xbox you should have this game.

    Because of the internet, I had very low expectations. It was dirt cheap from the shop so i figured id at least try it and get my own impression.

    I was quite surprised as i found myself actually having fun and want to continue playing. C3 has a solid fun factor, where combat, traversal, progression, verticality and mobility are all intertwined decently.

    Guns feel good and the lock-on feature works quite well and that was one the aspects i found kinda boring in the original but this is a different kind of 3PS where breaking line contact and using your mobility to your advantage is the name of the game.

    Ive played the original a few years ago and couldnt get into it but C3 feels better to play and IS surprisingly fun.

    The driving aspect of the game is abit "weird" as i like to jump from rooftops to traverse the area.

    Graphics are FINE, nothing to boast about but theyre FINE.

    Music is good, electronic sci-fi dubstep feel.

    This game has been overhyped and at the end of the day, devs didnt quite deliver what they originally promised with the destruction in the campaign.

    C3 has a solid funfactor and my score for this game is 8 of 10. It does NOT deserve all the hate its been getting, im having genuine fun with this game and wnat to get right back into it.    … Expand

    Crackdown 3 does not deserve a ZERO rating, the lo grade are given by people that have smoked to much CRACK and their own BS.

    Do not fall far it. I bought this game in 2020 as i got the 2 earlier games for free on Xbox 360 and now Xbox ONE.

    Its big, gorgeous and the controls and fluidity are absolutely spot on!

    If you want a game with retro feel of the 80s with neoon, big guns and explosions like Far Cry Blood dragon. But in 3rd person. This is it!

    Crackdown 3 foi um game injustiçado, a jogabilidade dele é muito fluída, muito melhor q seus antecessores. A dublagem é de primeira e a diversão é garantida, quanto mais vc evolui, mais divertido o jogo fica. Quando você joga no Coop, a dificuldade se torna bem desafiante. Não vá por análise de jornalistas, dê uma chance e tire as suas próprias conclusões. . recomendo!

    Inside its genre, it's a very good game.
    It has downsides compared to the first one, but had advantages too. Very fun and engaging, try it out in game Pass. If you like Sunset Overdrive, Saints Row, Agents of Mayhem and Just Cause, it's definitely one game for you.

    Not a 10/10 game that's for sure, but if you ignore the lies of Microsoft about the power of the cloud and if this game was a non known franchise. It has nice easy mechanics well polished game play and if you like crackdown one its more of the same without bugs or glitches

    Crackdown 3 takes you back to the days when games were meant to give the user a fun experience. It delivers fun in truckloads. It also has great graphics & tight gameplay. Give crackdown 3 a try..you will be shocked at how good it actually is.

    Crackdown 3 wastes its potential in both the woefully boring campaign and the completely uninteresting, barely functional multiplayer. The open-world city is just as empty as the game itself.

    We can't recommend Crackdown 3 in good faith. It has its moments, but you need to be a fan of uncomplicated run'n'gun gameplay to enjoy them – and even then, the action takes way too long to pick up. [Issue#236, p.42]

    After such a glacial wait, it's not unreasonable to expect more. Still, in spite of its pared-back ambitions, it is such a chorus line of brainless, sugar rush thrills, you'll rarely be anything less than entertained. Let's just hope we don't have to wait until 2024 for Crackdown 4 to arrive. [Issue#225, p.65]
